Today could have gone better. It's been a month since Gale and my mom found out the sex of our baby. I'm getting huge. I had this crazy idea to tell Haymitch now before it was closer to my due date. To be honest, we'd forgotten to tell him. We were too wrapped up in the fact that I was pregnant.
Peeta and I went over to Haymitch's house yesterday afternoon. He's been sober for... oh, three days I think he told us. That's pretty awesome, all things considered. Haymitch has a reputation for being drunk constantly. He was sober when we went over to tell him the news.
His exact words were this: "Well... let's hope the apple falls far from the tree in this case," Honestly, I wasn't as phased by this as Peeta was. I felt his body stiffen beside me. I grabbed his hand and shook my head. I let Haymitch's comment go and asked him if he would be there in the room with us when I went into labor. Not when I was pushing, of course. That'd be weird (to say the least). The only people I want in the room at that time are my mother and Peeta. Haymitch perked up at the question. "You sure you want me in there, sweetheart?" He asked. I laughed at the fact that he called me "sweetheart." Memories came flooding back, but I pushed them away.
"Positive, Haymtich," I laughed. "You have to leave when I start the pushing, though." His face was priceless. A mix of "no duh" and "what?" After we left Haymitch's house, we went back home and sat on the couch. "Man, my feet are killing me. Pregnancy definitely wears you out." I laughed. Peeta smiled and grabbed my legs. He propped them on his legs and pulled off my shoes. He had some magical fingers, that's for sure. My feet felt better almost immediately. "Man. You're good at that." He laughed. I decided to turn on the tv and see what was on. One of my favorite movies was playing. It was about a guy who decided to be a super hero and an 11 year old girl who joins him. They team up and kick ass together. It's an awesome movie. I didn't realize I was falling asleeo until I heard Peeta talking. Or I think it was him talking. You know when you can't tell if what you're hearing is real or just in your head?
"Katniss? Come on, sweetie. Let's go to bed," he helped me up as I was still somewhat asleep. I was aware enough to at least walk to our bed with his help. "There we are." He helped me lay on the bed and helped me undress then got me some shorts and a sleep shirt. After I was dressed agaon, I was out like a light. The last thing I heard was him saying, "I love you both so much." then he kissed me and my belly.
